            This song is pretty simple.  Note that i have included the bass part.
please dont copy this without my permission.

Verse:
        Em        Am     Em        Am
In the summer that i was baptized,
           Em     Am        Am  Em
my father held me to his side.
        Em     Am        Em   Am
as they put me to the water,
             Em      Am        Am  Em
he said how on that day i cried

Bridge:
        Am
We were prisoners of love,
  C
a love in chains,
       Am
He was standing in the door,
      C
I was standing in the rain,
         Am                      B7
with the same hot blood burning in our veins,

Chorus:
      Em
Adam raised a Cain

Adam raised a Cain
D Em
Adam raised a Cain
D Em
Adam raised a Cain

Verse:
All of the old faces,
ask you why you're back.
they fit you with position,
and the keys to your daddy's cadillac

Bridge:
in the darkness of your room
your mother calls you by your true name,
you remember the faces,
the places the names,
you know its never over,
its relentless as the rain,

Chorus

Intense solo (coming Soon)

Verse:
in the bible Cain slew Able,
And east of Eden Momma he was cast,
you're born into this life paying,
for the sins of someone elses past

Bridge:
daddy worked his whole life,
for nothing but the pain,
now he walkes these empty rooms,
looking for something to blame,
you inherit the sins,
you inherit the pain

Chorus

Then repeat and fade.

Okay thats most of it, but ther are some cool licks in the background in places, so here 
are, all tabbed out

at the bridge:

E---------------------|
A--7------------------|
D---------------------|
G---------4-----------|      Do this four times,
B-------5-------------|      listen to the song for
E---------------------|      timing.


And also at the chorus:

E-----------------------------|
A--7------------7-------------|        Also do this four times,
D------------5----------------|        Listen to the album for
G--------5^-4-----------------|        timing.  Note that it is hard
B-----5-----------------------|        to hear the first two notes.
E-----------------------------|        ^ means bend up.

I also promised the bass part, so here it is:

For the Verse:

E-0--3-----|
A------5---|
D----------|    x3
G----------|

The turnaround is the same, but backwards:

E----3--0-|
A-5-------|
D---------|
G---------|

For The Bridge play the Chord notes as quarter notes

For The Chorus, Play the same as the verse

Well, that was hard :). The boss rocks, keep playing and have fun.
